Shelby Humane

A non-profit animal welfare organization.

Our vision is to establish a strong collaboration between Shelby Humane and the community that fosters the successful adoption for all shelter animals, reduces the number of unwanted animals in our community, and promoting proper pet identification. Shelby Humane seeks to develop and maintain a positive public image and to serve as a resource that the public turns to for support and advice in the many facets of animal husbandry.

UPDATE: Confirmed for Transport! Meet Fidget Cube, the playful puppy who’s as cute as her name! With a gorgeous medium-length tan and white coat and an adorable freckled nose, she’s sure to steal your heart at first sight. Fidget Cube is full of joyful energy—she loves to play fetch, eagerly runs after the ball, and will do just about anything for a tasty treat. But don't let her playful side fool you; she’s also a cuddle bug who loves nothing more than snuggling up after a fun day of play.

Being a young puppy, Fidget Cube is highly trainable and ready to learn all the tricks and manners that come with a loving home. We think she might be a retriever-spaniel mix, which explains her playful yet affectionate nature. This sweet pup is bursting with potential and can’t wait to grow up with a family who will cherish every moment with her. Bring Fidget Cube home, and get ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and endless cuddles!

🐶❤️ Adopting from foster care is a wonderful way to give a loving home to dogs in need. These pups have already been in foster homes, so you can learn about their personalities, behaviors, and any special needs they may have. Plus, they often come with basic training and socialization. By adopting from foster care, you're not only saving a life but also supporting the amazing foster families who provide love and care. Give these deserving dogs a forever home! 🏡💕 If interested in meeting any of these dogs, please apply for adoption at shelbyhumane.org and we will schedule a meeting and greet. After applying send an email to [email protected] so Karli can make sure the foster parent is aware. Thank you 😊
